RE: We are launching a new service called Steem-Forever
Just so I understand, isn't this the same as the end user writing their own comment and upvoting themselves - then sending the money to the post's author themselves via a direct transfer? (Except presumably if they do it themselves then they don't pay a middle man).
No this is designed to upvote others. So if you see a post from the past you can go appreciate the author with an upvote still.
We hope this will encourage valuable content with a longer shelf life.
If you want to self vote, then just self vote. You can create a comment and upvote it right? We don't need to help there.
We want to make it so that we can upvote good content any time. For instance when I learned how to install a witness i was reading old post and would have loved to give upvotes to instructions that were helpful to me. Now i can.
Hi, I understand the concept of upvoting old posts, but I am just trying to understand the mechanics involved as they aren't really spelled out in enough depth yet.
I'm trying to understand how me upvoting my own comment under someone's post that is old and then manually sending them the money equivalent of my upvote would be any different to what is on offer here.
Steem-bounty creates the comment. Everybody that upvotes the post on steem-bounty.com actually upvotes the comment. that comment is shared with the author of the post.
New comments are created when needed. this can max happen once per week.
From and end user perspective all you do is upvote the post. the UI hides the complexity. You can upvote once per week. The green upvote button after your upvote turns grey after each pay period.
don't trust them revoke your steem bounty if you have given it, they are taking more than any Steem Dapp that you can do with a 2 Steem api ...less than dozen line script call
As you can see there is an extra comment. The rewards of this comment are shared with the author of the post.
So as a user you can simply always upvote a post in the steem-bounty UI and the author will get rewards.
We display how much upvote comes from the original post and how much comes frome the forever-feature.
Does this make sense now?
